Ambleside

 Monday 22^nd May

 

I awoke to a glorious day in the Lake District. I looked out of the bedroom window and quickly decided that the weather was probably the best I had seen it at the Lakes. We however, didn’t make the most of it. In the morning I walked around the flat eating breakfast and losing the occasional bit to the floor. Everyone was asleep. A little disappointed I sat and read a book.

 

Overhearing conversations, apparently yesterday was a very tiring day and most people wanted a relaxing day. I couldn’t understand it; all we had done is sit in a car! Still there was nothing I could do. I read books and watched TV until we were all ready to go out.

 

Normally we walk into Ambleside however, we decided to take the car this time. We parked in Ambleside’s main carpark, visited Apple Pie for bath buns, and then dad went off for a haircut and we looked around the shops. Well, when I say shops, we only looked in two before dad was done. He met us at a pub where we were having a drink. Even though we hadn’t been in Ambleside long, the old people wanted to return home. We walked slowly to the car park. Before going home, we went to two more places; both of which I had visited before therefore, I gave grandma and grandad tips. Firstly, dad drove to Ambleside’s Garden Centre where grandad, grandma and mum had a look around. Secondly, we headed to Windermere. In Booths we bought a little more food including more sausages. Once back at the flat the old people went to sleep. Mum, Dad and I walked into Ambleside once more.

 

Dad was very lucky. His favourite game shop was just about to close. He met the owner on the stairs and managed to get in to buy yet another game. I wasn’t sure what he was going to do with all these games; but he seemed happy enough with a game called ‘forbidden island’. Mum bought me a plastic ball but, it’s not really my thing; I like my books.

 

After this we walked back to the flat where we relaxed watching TV and eating dinner. My dad introduced my Japanese family to the humble Pork Pie. They seemed to like it and had saved some for breakfast.

 

I am looking forward to tomorrow. I heard the word Keswick however, I am not too sure.

 

Toodle Pip!
